In Broekhuizen, near Arcen, lies the old ferry named Grubbenvorst, dying on the river Maas. It has been replaced by a newer one. The old one lies rotting away some hundred metres away from its old trajectory. It was very windy that day and the carcass of the ship was mildly rocking back and forth resulting in this beautiful creaking. The occasional thud is the boat hitting the construction it is lying in.
This recording was made with a Zoom H2n on 4 channel mode. It was then further edited and processed using Reaper. It was recorded on april 3rd 2018. The Zoom was protected by a Rycote Windshield and my own cap as an extra windbreaker.

I was searching for the sound of rocks cracking, to use in a site specific piece, to play in a cave. I may not be able to use this but it's an amazing piece. Well done.

This sound is beautiful. Recorded with such care. I plan to use this in a recording for Talking Newspapers: a volunteer initiative here in the UK creating audio news stories for the blind, specifically about a story revolving around the first piano to be sent to Australia. Many thanks!

thanks. No bored child here, no, just a granddad with his granddaughter passing by. :)
